Press EXIT once to return to the top level of voice edit mode, and press F2 (Com)
to get the voice common data job directory. Select job 04:NtLimit (note limit)
and press ENTER to get the Element Note Limit display. Make settings so that
the display looks like the following.
Play the keyboard and notice that the brass and strings will sound only for C#3
and above, and the bass only for C3 and below.
Press the PAGE key once to get the Element Velocity Limit display. Make set-
tings so that the display looks like the following.
Play the keyboard and notice that the notes C#3 and above will sound either
brass or strings depending on how strongly you play.
Using the procedure explained on page 74, give your newly created voice a name
and store it into memory.
You may wish to adjust the volume of each element (press PAGE four times to
get the Element level display, or JUMP #202).
The Element note limit setting in the above example creates abrupt
changes; e.g., the bass plays at full volume on C3 and not at all on C#3. If you
wish to make gradual keyboard crossfades between elements, set the output
level scaling for each element. Refer to 4.AFM operator output (JUMP #241) and
4.AWM output (JUMP #259).
The Element velocity limit setting in the above example allows playing
dynamics to create sudden change. If you wish to create gradual velocity cross -
fades between elements, set the velocity sensitivity parameters of each element
to opposite settings (positive or negative values). See the velocity sensitivity
parameters in 5.AFM sensitivity (JUMP #243), 8.1 Cutoff frequency (JUMP
#249), and 5.AWM sensitivity (JUMP #260).
The Utility mode setting Velocity set (JUMP #802) allows you to specify
how the SY99 keyboard transmits velocity. When using velocity crossfades, you
may wish to select Velocity curve 6 or 7. This will produce exponential crossfad-
ing which may sound more effective than the normal linear velocity curve.
